The Salon Privé Sale 2016

An unregistered Lamborghini Aventador SV Roadster will head a list of 68 cars due to go under the hammer at this weekend’s auction at the Salon Privé.

The open-top V12 supercar has just 37 miles on the clock and is expected to fetch up to £520,000 at the Saturday auction, making it top candidate for biggest sale at the Silverstone Auctions event.

Also on offer will be selection of modern classics, including a 1987 Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth. The 224bhp three-door has covered 50,943 miles through its four owners and it’s predicted to sell for between £45,000 and £55,000.

Alongside this, experts think a 1989 ‘flat-nose’ 930 Porsche 911 Turbo SE could sell for as much as £160,000, while a 1990 Mercedes 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II could go for £220,000.

The 68 cars will go under the hammer during the closing day of Salon Privé.
